NARROW ESCAPE
of a Party of Musicians from Drowning in
the Ohio.

OF a Party of Musicians from Drowning in
the Ohio.
About 3 o'clock yesterday morning five
members of Mayors orchestra and two
other gentlemen bad a very narrow escape
from o watery grave. The musicians had
been playing at a ball given in Martin:
Ferry and at the above mentioned time
undertook to return home by the skiffferr
at the Top Mill. Just after the party left
the Ohio shore one of them noticed that
water was rapidly pouring into the skih
and called the terryman's attention to the
fact, and requested him to return TO the
shore.
The ferryman, however, paid no atten-
ton to the fact that the skiff was rapidly
filling with water and refused to turn
back. They were then about one-third OF
the way aorsss, and the vessel was swiftly
settling, while the OarSman appeared to be
oblivious of the state Of things and cOntln-
ued on his way. He did not heed the
vigorous protestatiOns Of the other Occu-
pants who saw that if they kept on they
were bound to sink in q short time, and
matters became very alarming, so alarm
ing in fact that one of the party, q strong
fellow, caught the fprrymap by the throat
aud threw him of the seat, which be took
himself and seizing the oars, with several
powerful strokes headed the skiff back to
the Ohio shore.
When they had almost reached it the
skif went down and the party were com
PEELED to wade out end walk all the way
home to Bridgeport but they all seemed
perfectly willing to do that in preference
TO exploring the bottom of the river. on
such a chilly night. One of the gentlemen
said he bad been across the ocean several
times but be was never before in such q
scary predicament.

An Exciting and Successful Chase After a
sneak Thief.

An Exciting and Successful Chase After
Sneak Thief.
Yesterday morning about Z o'clock, just
after W. H. Franks clothing house, Oh
Twelfth street, had been opened for the
day, and the dummies" clothed in sam,
pie suits had been placed in line in front
of the windows, a tough-loOking case hove
in sight from around the Market street
corner. He took in the situation at a
glance, and in another moment he had also
taken in a coat and vest, and was flying
around the Market street corner again
with the garments in his arms. Turning
down the street, he tore up the stairs lead
ing to Parsons gallery, and without cere-
mony rushed into the bed room occupied
by a Greek named John Christie, who
keeps the candy booth on the sidewalk in
front of McLain's. He called TO Christie
for help, and at the same time lodged into
the water closet, Selling in his flight
through the bed room q package of
candy belonging to the Greek, which he
TANNED into q pocket of the stolen coat.
Leaving the coat and vest in the closet,
the thief came out, when he was seized by
the excited Greek, who brought a pop to
bear on his visitor. After quite a strug.
gle, the thief made his escape and ran out
on to Market street, and down to alley
nine, up which he turned. At the corner
of the alley, however, he met JEFF.
Davis, who promptly brought him to a
sudden stop by inserting the handle Of a
broom between his legs and tripping him
up jeff then sat on his man until Officer
Junkins appeared and took the thief to
headquarters.
A warrant was then sworn out before
Justice Davis, and Officer Carney brought
the man up to the "Squire's" office. The
thief gave his name as James o. Lee, but
when searched an envelope wasfound on him
postmarked Kansas City and addressed to
John Relies, care Sheriff, M~Oundsville,
W. Va, indicating that the man had been
in the Marshall county jail. After an ex-
animation, the Justice held him in default
of 81, 900 for court. Lee refused to go to
Jail, and the nippers had to be put on him.
He is supposed to be the same man who
robbed st. Alphonsus parsonage of II watch
some time ago.

ing companies who may hereafter locate IN
the city.
Adopted.
When the list of Deputy Sergeants had
been read for confirmation, Mr.. Tracy
said that with all due respect to the Police
Commissioners and Mr.. Smith, he could
not vote to confirm three of the names up
on the list, Officers Junkins, Dunlap and
Watson. He desired to be recorded as
voting no. Mr.. Delbrugge desired to
know particularly upon what grounds Mr..
Tracy's opposition was based. He did not
see what could be alleged against q police
administration which had been endorsed
by the people by a large majority. In
reply to this Mr.. Tracy said he objected
to the conduct of the officers at the Second
ward polls, at the late election. He
quoted rule 10 of the Board, and said on
election day Officer Dunlap was ut the
market house, club in pocket pdtickets in
hand. Junkins and Watson were there in
citizens clothes, using their official influ-
ence to obtain votes. On these grounds he
could not vote to confirm.
MI. A. J. Schultze, Rep, said there was
generally two sides to every question. He
asked that Officer Junkins and Chief
Smith be heard.
Mr.. Buchanan, Rep, alluded to Mr..
Tracy's charge OF ''pernicious activity"
and said in his opinion Officer Junkins
did nothing but what he should have
done as an officer and a citizen. He hoped
Mr.. Tracy would withdraw his opposition.
That gentleman wa q little excited on
election day, and probably he had not
quite Gained down yet.
Mr.. Tracy again returned to the charge,
and said he had heard Junkins had sent
word TO Dave Grant that if he didn't
''vote right he would pull him." 1.-THE
negroes were afraid of Junkins."
Finally a vote was taken and the officers
were confirmed, Messrs. McGregor and
Tracy voting no
A petition from the Board of Education,
asking leave to use the Market Hall and
Court House for school purposes was
granted.
The resolutions of Messrs. Harrell, Davis
and Garyin, sent over from the Second
Branch, were rejected.
Everything else was coneurred in, and
this Branch adjourned.

A Fine Performances.

Mr.. HORACE Lewis presentation OF
Monte Cristo," drew two fine audiences
to the Grand Opera House yesterday after
noon and evening, and everybody was de-
lighted with his Interpretation of the play.
There is no denying the assertion that Mr..
Lewis, notwithstanding he is yet quite a
young man, is an actor of genius, and some
day he will make his mark. Even now
his presentation of the role made famous
by Charles Fletcher and James 0'Neill
compares favorably with that upon which
the last named actor has acquired so much
fame and cash, and while Mr.. Lewis may
not be a second Fletcher, he is quito q
rival of O'Neill. Here he is laboring
under the disadvantages of inadequate
scenery and n supporting company which
has q or two weak spots.
This afternoon and this evening tive
Nights in Rome" will be given.
